It raises a question for me about what the protocol is when you have scripts entered in the BSSC. Unlike all the other comps the BSSC gets the winning films made. So even though you know that your script isn't going to win (like most others I'm in it to try and get through a couple of rounds) do you think it puts those scripts out of circulation until they get bounced out of the BSSC? Looking forward to the Yoda wisdom....

Way I see it, the odds are against a scribe winning, so chances are it's makes no difference at all if you send a script to a producer that you have also entered in the BSSC. Don't forget, odds are also against you getting the producer on board too!

If the producer DOES want your script however, it's best to tell him/her it's in the BSSC I think. If s/he wants to get cracking straight away, then it would probably be best that you withdraw from the BSSC. On the other hand, the producer may not to want to start for a while and be as interested as you to see where the script places, might even help the production in the long run as they can boast the script was a high placer in the BSSC...
